var PAGE_FORMATS

Supported page format names & dimensions

Functions

def get_page_format(format, k=None)

Return page width and height size in points.

Throws FPDFPageFormatException

format can be either a 2-tuple or one of 'a3', 'a4', 'a5', 'letter', or 'legal'.

If format is a tuple, then the return value is the tuple's values given in the units specified on this document in the constructor, multiplied by the corresponding scale factor k, taken from instance variable self.k.

If format is a string, the (width, height) tuple returned is in points. For a width and height of 8.5 * 11, 72 dpi is assumed, so the value returned is (8.5 * 72, 11 * 72), or (612, 792). Additional formats can be added by adding fields to the PAGE_FORMATS dictionary with a case insensitive key (the name of the new format) and 2-tuple value of (width, height) in dots per inch with a 72 dpi resolution.

PDF Generation class

Args

orientation : str
possible values are "portrait" (can be abbreviated "P") or "landscape" (can be abbreviated "L"). Default to "portrait".
unit : str, int, float
possible values are "pt", "mm", "cm", "in", or a number. A point equals 1/72 of an inch, that is to say about 0.35 mm (an inch being 2.54 cm). This is a very common unit in typography; font sizes are expressed in this unit. If given a number, then it will be treated as the number of points per unit. (eg. 72 = 1 in) Default to "mm".
format : str
possible values are "a3", "a4", "a5", "letter", "legal" or a tuple (width, height) expressed in the given unit. Default to "a4".
font_cache_dir : Path or str
[DEPRECATED since v2.5.1] unused

        This method allows printing text with line breaks. They can be automatic
        (breaking at the most recent space or soft-hyphen character) as soon as the text
        reaches the right border of the cell, or explicit (via the `\\n` character).
        As many cells as necessary are stacked, one below the other.
        Text can be aligned, centered or justified. The cell block can be framed and
        the background painted. A cell has an horizontal padding, on the left & right sides,
        defined by the.c_margin property.

        Args:
            w (float): cell width. If 0, they extend up to the right margin of the page.
            h (float): height of a single line of text.  Default value: None, meaning to use the current font size.
            text (str): string to print.
            border: Indicates if borders must be drawn around the cell.
                The value can be either a number (`0`: no border ; `1`: frame)
                or a string containing some or all of the following characters
                (in any order):
                `L`: left ; `T`: top ; `R`: right ; `B`: bottom. Default value: 0.
            align (fpdf.enums.Align, str): Set text alignment inside the cell.
                Possible values are:
                `J`: justify (default value); `L` or empty string: left align;
                `C`: center; `X`: center around current x position; `R`: right align
            fill (bool): Indicates if the cell background must be painted (`True`)
                or transparent (`False`). Default value: False.
            split_only (bool): **DEPRECATED since 2.7.4**:
                Use `dry_run=True` and `output=("LINES",)` instead.
            link (str): optional link to add on the cell, internal
                (identifier returned by `add_link`) or external URL.
            new_x (fpdf.enums.XPos, str): New current position in x after the call. Default: RIGHT
            new_y (fpdf.enums.YPos, str): New current position in y after the call. Default: NEXT
            ln (int): **DEPRECATED since 2.5.1**: Use `new_x` and `new_y` instead.
            max_line_height (float): optional maximum height of each sub-cell generated
            markdown (bool): enable minimal markdown-like markup to render part
                of text as bold / italics / underlined. Supports `\\` as escape character. Default to False.
            print_sh (bool): Treat a soft-hyphen (\\u00ad) as a normal printable
                character, instead of a line breaking opportunity. Default value: False
            wrapmode (fpdf.enums.WrapMode): "WORD" for word based line wrapping (default),
                "CHAR" for character based line wrapping.
            dry_run (bool): if `True`, does not output anything in the document.
                Can be useful when combined with `output`.
            output (fpdf.enums.MethodReturnValue): defines what this method returns.
                If several enum values are joined, the result will be a tuple.
            txt (str): [**DEPRECATED since v2.7.6**] string to print.
            center (bool): center the cell horizontally on the page.
            padding (float or Sequence): padding to apply around the text. Default value: 0.
                When one value is specified, it applies the same padding to all four sides.
                When two values are specified, the first padding applies to the top and bottom, the second to
                the left and right. When three values are specified, the first padding applies to the top,
                the second to the right and left, the third to the bottom. When four values are specified,
                the paddings apply to the top, right, bottom, and left in that order (clockwise)
                If padding for left or right ends up being non-zero then respective c_margin is ignored.

        Center overrides values for horizontal padding

        Using `new_x=XPos.RIGHT, new_y=XPos.TOP, maximum height=pdf.font_size` is
        useful to build tables with multiline text in cells.

def add_page(self, orientation='', format='', same=False, duration=0, transition=None)

Adds a new page to the document. If a page is already present, the FPDF.footer() method is called first. Then the page is added, the current position is set to the top-left corner, with respect to the left and top margins, and the FPDF.header() method is called.

Args

orientation : str
"portrait" (can be abbreviated "P") or "landscape" (can be abbreviated "L"). Default to "portrait".
format : str
"a3", "a4", "a5", "letter", "legal" or a tuple (width, height). Default to "a4".
same : bool
indicates to use the same page format as the previous page. Default to False.

optional page’s display duration, i.e. the maximum length of time, in seconds, that the page is displayed in presentation mode, before the viewer application automatically advances to the next page. Can be configured globally through the .page_duration FPDF property. As of june 2021, onored by Adobe Acrobat reader, but ignored by Sumatra PDF reader.
transition : Transition child class
optional visual transition to use when moving from another page to the given page during a presentation. Can be configured globally through the .page_transition FPDF property. As of june 2021, onored by Adobe Acrobat reader, but ignored by Sumatra PDF reader.
def add_text_markup_annotation(self, type, text, quad_points, color=(1, 1, 0), modification_time=None, page=None, **kwargs)

Adds a text markup annotation on some quadrilateral areas of the page.

Args

quad_points : tuple
array of 8 × n numbers specifying the coordinates of n quadrilaterals in default user space that comprise the region in which the link should be activated. The coordinates for each quadrilateral are given in the order: x1 y1 x2 y2 x3 y3 x4 y4 specifying the four vertices of the quadrilateral in counterclockwise order
title : str
the text label that shall be displayed in the title bar of the annotation’s pop-up window when open and active. This entry shall identify the user who added the annotation.
color : tuple
a tuple of numbers in the range 0.0 to 1.0, representing a colour used for the title bar of the annotation’s pop-up window. Defaults to yellow.
modification_time : datetime
date and time when the annotation was most recently modified
page : int
index of the page where this annotation is added
def alias_nb_pages(self, alias='{nb}')

Defines an alias for the total number of pages. It will be substituted as the document is closed.

This is useful to insert the number of pages of the document at a time when this number is not known by the program.

This substitution can be disabled for performances reasons, by calling alias_nb_pages(None).

Args

alias : str
the alias. Defaults to "{nb}".

Notes

When using this feature with the FPDF.cell() / FPDF.multi_cell() methods, or the .underline attribute of FPDF class, the width of the text rendered will take into account the alias length, not the length of the "actual number of pages" string, which can causes slight positioning differences.

def arc(self, x, y, a, start_angle, end_angle, b=None, inclination=0, clockwise=False, start_from_center=False, end_at_center=False, style=None)

Outputs an arc. It can be drawn (border only), filled (with no border) or both.

Args
